Hello! You must be looking at this because you find Physics very challenging. I'd love to help! I have taught various levels of physics to public school students, private school students, homeschoolers and college students for 23 years. For ACT test prep, I've tutored students who have received scores in the 30+ range in math and science. My specialty, though, is advanced high school and introductory college physics (both algebra and calculus-based). I currently teach honors physics and...

Joe helped our son prepare for the math portion of the ACT test. Before Joe's tutoring, our son scored a 22 and after Joe's instruction, our son scored a 26. We all really felt that Joe's help was the key to our son's math score improvement! Joe is kind, patient, and well-prepared. Excellent teacher and tutor!

Joe is a great resource for helping with High School Honors Physics. He goes over the material based on their level of understanding, clearly communicating the concepts, and providing very good notes for review later.

My son had been frustrated all year in his honor's physics class - his teacher just didn't connect with the kids - and my son, who has always done very well in science, was feeling overwhelmed. He was really excited about how well Joe worked with him - and now feels completely confident that he is prepared for his final test and his final exam. I wish I had looked into this earlier - and not only was he an excellent teacher, he was a really nice guy and my son enjoyed their time together - and that's saying a lot since they worked for 4 1/2 hours! It is very hard to find a good physics teacher and tutor - especially for honor's level work - but Joe was absolutely wonderful and I'd highly recommend him!

Joe had an immediate plan of action to help me with College of Dupage Physics 1201. I'm really not getting information presented in the way I understand. But Joe used an app on his iPad that i could watch as he wrote out the information. Then it was emailed to me. I could then rewatch the full audio & video & take notes at my own pace. I could watch it from my iPhone so I don't have to lug around a laptop wherever I decide to study. Physics for me doesn't translate into words by looking at all the numbers on a page so the combination of video & audio is just what I need!

Joe has an excellent ability to quickly grasp what or where the student is stuck on and can, and does walk through a problem step by step to enlighten them. Great teacher!

My son received his first lesson with Joe last evening, and it was a great experience. Joe was very patient and understanding, and very visual in his teaching method. That was extremely helpful to my son. I feel very confident that Joe will help him in Physics as well as increasing his ACT scores. We are looking forward to lesson #2!

Joe - shows up with a customized tutoring plan, yet has shown the ability to make adjustments based on the strengths and needs of my child. My child continues to benefit from his time with Joe.

Joe immediately decided what I needed to know and taught me useful material before we did some practice problems. I understand sound waves and how to apply energy concepts to simple harmonic motion much better since our tutoring session.
